  • My shitty kitchen wall is drying and I think the problem was likely a cap on a neighbours gutter which has now been sorted. But it's drying slowly and I want to get on and plaster it. Humidifier?

    If so, I don't really like renting things if I'll get future use. We have some damp/mould in another room in the house so I can see spending 250-350 on one is probably not the worst thing in the world if a week renting will be 100+

    Looking at:

    https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/ecd30/electriq-ecd30-dehumidifier
    https://www.screwfix.com/p/ebac-powerdri-21ltr-dehumidifier/8053r
    https://www.screwfix.com/p/ebac-powerdri-18ltr-dehumidifier-unit/41553 (which is better reviewed than the 21ltr version?)

    Would obvs prefer ebac for size/cost but equally is that not going to do a lot for me? Some reviews say they do really well for the money, but quite a few reviews saying they're broken on arrival/faulty/cracked etc.

    Anything else out there? Can't really go to DriEaz money (1k plus) and probably not Sealey which seem to be around 500. Presuming that buying second hand is too big a risk. And realistically I want something tomorrow or Monday latest.

  • Humidifier?

    Yes, try not to use heat. A desiccant version will work well if the room is cold. Shut the doors to the room, put the DH on always-on, run a pipe from it to a drain if you can so you don't have to keep emptying the bloomin thing.

    Don't count on it being done a few days though : /
